The Best Dressed: See Who Turned Heads at the Royal Wedding

It was an early start to the day for us royal watchers, but it sure was worth it! So thrilling were the morning's festivities that we've decided to dedicate all of Mr. Blasberg's Best Dressed, the list put together by our editor at large, Derek Blasberg, to the British festivities. Few of us will ever experience the sort of pressure that Kate Middleton (actually, pardon me, the Duchess of Cambridge) felt in the weeks leading to her royal nuptials. The scrutiny of her wedding dress was an international issue, as was the jewelry (would she wear something understated and modern, or would her granny-in-law break out the big guns?), the invite list, and the schedule of events. The good news? She looked absolutely divine. Confirming rumors, Sarah Burton designed the dress under the Alexander McQueen label. And when Kate climbed out of her car - just as the sun poked through the clouds - she was, quite literally, glowing. Anyone affiliated with the wedding knew that today was not the time to make a sartorial misstep. Luckily, many of the attendants hit Westminster Abbey in stride. Chelsy Davy, Prince Harry's fiesty on-and-off-and-apparently-back-on girlfriend, looked fabulous in an Alberta Ferretti dress in teal, the color that the prime minister's wife, Samantha Cameron, also chose for her tiered Burberry dress. Monaco's own future princess, Charlene Wittstock, looked beautiful in a gray sheath, as did her fellow royal blonde Marie- Chantal of Greece. Covering up was Victoria Beckham, discreetly hiding her baby bump, and Elton John, who was one of the many men who showed up looking marvelously handsome in their traditional threads. One of the biggest crowd pleasers was the princess duo of Beatrice and Eugenie, cousins to the groom. Proving that no one does eccentric like the English, the two showed up at the wedding of the century in Phillip Treacy hats that put smiles on our faces. Which was no small feat at 5:00 a.m.
